$30/month for the gym + $30/kid/month for childcare Monday-Saturday at GoodLife (2 kids now +1 more in summer once school is out). I can use any of their locations but would have to drive a bit to get to one with childcare. It was hard to find a gym here that had childcare. I would have liked the Y but could only get…

Mom of 3 (6, 3, baby). Currently on mat leave until 2016 so trying to take advantage of the time to get good habits in place. Once I go back to work, I work full time with a 1.5 hour commute each way so time is pretty tight.

you could try bikinibodymommy... She has a couple of 90 day challenges on You Tube (free) that alternate between a cardio focused day and a weights day. You do need dumbbells for it. They are usually about 10 minutes activity plus a warm up and cool down.

I wouldn't worry about the fat amount unless you have some kind of health issue. If your fats come from a healthy source like avocado or nuts they are fine and you just need to worry about calories. If they come from a less healthy source like chocolate, it isn't a huge problem as part of a healthy diet. If you have 2000…

I find when I do over 15k steps, I need more food. My general rule for eating back exercise calories is that my net calories should be over 1300. After that it depends on how I feel.

I have to say, I'm still struggling. I haven't really gained more but I haven't been loosing. Too much easter candy (I had to buy more for the kids because I ate what I was giving to them) . Hopefully, is part of it so that is over. My next struggle has been with my son. He has had a few things come back as requiring…

I had #3 in January and lost almost 20 lbs in the first two weeks. I've gained 5 lbs back since :'( When I had #1, I walked, did a DVD a few times a week and ate normal. The 50 lbs I gained was gone within 6 months and only the last little bit was tough. With #2, I joined a gym at 6 months post partum to get help in losing…

Had trouble over the weekend but have got back on track. Went for a walk yesterday with baby in the carrier and did a mom+baby pilates DVD this morning. Not sure if he liked it but he didn't cry so that is good. He also broke is 4 day spell without pooping before we went out so I'm pretty happy about that too.

Just starting to get on track this time (baby almost 6w) but with my other two I ate about 2100 calories - 500 for breastfeeding so about 1600 net. I usually ate back some of my exercise calories (100-300/day). I found if I dropped below a total of 1800, I'd have no supply and would be constantly nursing which would lead…

Challenges: I have a 5w baby (+2 more) so my sleep is horrible and I'm attached to a baby for many hours a day. I am potty training a toddler using NIBs and I eat too many of them but they are always around because she is bribed by nothing else and has no desire to do it on her own. It is still cold and icy outside. Goal…

March 1 Me 0 Binge 1 Been awhile since I've been here not that my eating has been any better since I was here. Current struggles include having a 5w baby affecting my sleep and food choice, and treats we've been bribing my toddler to potty train with.

So I made it through the first day with logging everything and meeting my goals. I even did my first exercise that I logged in forever. Same goals for today!

If it is junk food, I think no unless possibly a salt craving. If it is something like eggs or tuna, I think I am deficient in something.

Eating is always my problem too.

Baby #3 is 3 weeks old. I lost almost 20lbs in the first 2 weeks but now lack of sleep is causing poor food choices and I could be starting to gain again. I'm not worried about exercising yet but I would like to eat decently! I have another 15 lbs to get to where I started this pregnancy and another 20 lbs after that to…

The information I've read is that the hormone release that could trigger labour only happens the first time it is done. So if you do it at 38 weeks and aren't ready, you've wasted that hormone release. If you do it again at 39 weeks, it won't make a difference. If 39 weeks is your first time, it might be enough. I never…

Anytime my weight has gone up more than a pound in pregnancy, it stays. That is how it has been over 3 pregnancies. Since my big weight gains usually have a plateau after, I think I gain the water weight and then I truly do gain the weight over then next 3-4 weeks. I also think some is related to the food I eat. I feel…

Yeah. I'm trying to look at the bright side that with my other pregnancies I was up 30 lbs at this point. I still hate the 5 lbs overnight deal. Under normal circumstances I know you can't gain that much without a crazy amount of food but here it just hangs on. I like to pretend it is water weight that eventually I can pee…

My first was 10 days late and my second was 2 months early. All our family is long distance. With our first, I felt like they wanted to know the exact day I would go into labour and since I couldn't tell them, they decided I was hiding it. We said we didn't want anyone staying with us for the first week because we wanted…
